u shouldn't fill up ur car when the light shows up. u can damage ur fuel pump and fuel system.

That light is your fuel system dying.

As long as the fuel pump is completely submerged it is just fine. It should be in a small container which prevents fuel pump starvation on turns and acceleration. Now running out of fuel is a different story. For you fuel pump thats like your engine running out of oil. Fuel is the pump's lubricant so as long as it is provided it makes no difference. You should revise your post john because I don't think that is what you meant.

is your EX a manual or automatic? i have a 2006 EX, automatic, and i wonder how much your estimate of the 'ticks' is affected by the type of transmission? by the way, i usually don't fill up until i have no more 'ticks' left, and i end up driving anywhere between 20-60 miles after my gas light comes on... i don't think i've ever gone 80! it's nice to know that i probably won't get stranded if i can't get gas for that long.

I have an 07 Honda Civic SI, My light comes one with 3 ticks left on the gas monitor, ive gotten down to one tick but got worried and went to fill up . . . i cant find any straight definitive answers on how long it goes once the light comes on till the ticks go away but i got mine to about 45 with 1 tick left
